Mashed Potato Leftovers

Is your fridge brimming with leftover Thanksgiving offerings? Mine surely is. But so far, I've whittled down at least one dish--the mashed potatoes.

Potato pancakes are always a delicious treat. Once you have the mashed potatoes, the work is basically done. Just drop in a couple of eggs and fry them up. This is definitely one of the side-benefits of Thanksgiving leftovers.

I served mine topped with fried eggs and on the side, chard sauteed in garlic and olive oil. I think everybody was expecting turkey and they were pretty delighted to have the eggs instead.

Be sure your eggs and butter are from pasture raised cows and chickens. That way you'll be adding inflammation-reducing omega-3s to your meal.

Mix all the potato pancakes ingredients up in a bowl. Melt the butter over medium heat in a large frying pan. When the butter starts to sizzle, drop the mashed potatoes in making 5 separate patties. Cook until the bottoms are golden and crispy and flip. Repeat on the other side.

In a second frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter is sizzling, crack in the eggs, leaving space between them if possible. Top with sea salt and pepper to taste. When the whites are starting to firm up, flip each egg over gently and cook for about 30 seconds more. Remove from pan and place each egg on the top of a potato pancake.

Is it possible to eat healthy and enjoy your food, too?

There are millions of us eating to heal. Here's to celebrating food in all it's amazing glory, it's beauty, it's deliciousness and it's healing properties.

We believe that healing with foods does not have to mean deprivation and denial. In fact, with a little planning ahead, a bit of effort in the kitchen (but not too much), some honed shopping skills and a little know-how, it is possible to live a "healing with foods" lifestyle while eating with maximum pleasure.

We want it all. We want to thrive and feel healthy and yet we want to eat delicious, fabulous foods.

If we can't have the pancakes, what can we have that looks, smells and tastes most like a pancake? Is there a pancake out there that is healing but also still satisfying and delicious? We can enthusiastically say the answer is, absolutely, yes.

In fact, it's become a goal of ours to see how many tasty but healing foods we can buy in stores, eat in restaurants or recreate at home. And when we simply can't adapt a recipe to be more healing, the next question we have is, "What else can we eat that is scrumptious and exciting, but that also contributes to our overall health?"

That's what this blog is all about...balancing the goal of eating amazing, great-tasting foods with an effort to become as healthy as possible. Can it be done? You bet your cupcakes, honey!
